TestFlight rejecting build "get-task-allow" error

Question

So I'm using testflightapp to distribute an ad-hoc build.

But I keep getting this message: 'Invalid Profile: distribution build entitlements must have get-task-allow set to false.'

I don't have an entitlements file for my App, so XCode automatically produces one and includes it in the build. I unzip the App.ipa and open up the embedded.mobileprovision file and look at the entitlement dictionary.

It looks like this:

<key>Entitlements</key> <dict>     <key>application-identifier</key>     <string>E9PBH9V8TB.*</string>     <key>get-task-allow</key>     <false/>     <key>keychain-access-groups</key>     <array>         <string>E9PBH9V8TB.*</string>     </array> </dict> 

Anyone else experienced this before? I don't understand why I'm getting this error.

Answer 1

Turns out the Code-Signing Identity in my build configuration didn't match the one I selected when I saved the archive for Ad-Hoc distribution.

Answer 2

Heh, i suddenly found that Code Signing Identity for Release build was changed to iOS Developer. You should change it to iOS Distribution. If it doesn't fix your problem, set Provisioning profile for Release build.

It works for me. Happy coding!

Update: Sometimes XCode doesn't apply this changes and restarting of XCode could help. Anyway before uploading to Testflight I strongly recommend you to check build logs. You should find this line "Using code signing identity" and see if XCode use the right Code Identity (distribution) to sign. It could save you a lot of time.
